The only real downside is the lack of swing and miss... But idk, its his second start and he seemed to be struggling with his command a bit at the end

Boy, that was faster than expected!

Not a big fan of this lol

He took the sweater off, so hoo boy

Brieske gets out of it.... Solid performance, this is about as high-test a lineup you will find

They did have a taxing night last night...

Yikes

Bellinger may have bought him another inning there.

On one hand true, but its crazy to me that they are actually having better ABs and working Kershaw harder than Anderson last night Although the emotional rollercoaster for Kershaw may have had an impact

Candy did something!

Pretty cool!

Kid gets out of it...

Lol, Jack complaining about Brieske keeping an eye on the runner. Has he seen all the steals the Tigs have allowed this season?

Holy shit, they scored a run against Kershaw. Its a damn miracle!

I didnt, although he has hit some balls hard lately...

Derek Hill breaks up the no XBH streak!

18 pitches, 7 outs

Beau was locating his fastball/chageup much better that inning.

Nice to see that Chris Taylor decided not to give the umps an earful...

Are the Dodgers gonna ***** and moan every time they don't swing at balls down in the zone? They did it all night last night too, even with balls in the superimposed box They are the best team in baseball, but they arent entitled to preferential treatment

Don't throw this guy another change up lol

What exactly does firing AJ Hinch accomplish? I get that fans want blood, but it's not like AJ or Coolbaugh or whoever can go take Candy or Schoop's ABs or field second for them. And it's not AJ's fault that there aren't exactly a ton of alternatives to them at the moment, given that roster sizes are limited, as are the options in Toledo. And it's not AJ's fault that Ryan Kreidler broke his hand earlier this week. The situation sucks, but firing AJ over this wouldn't accomplish anything at all.

Where's Bert's 2 runs?

Sure enough... I assumed the same thing. Now would definitely be a good time to change it up. Give Short another cup of coffee.

Is there anyone internally who can fill that void at this point? Defensively, Short probably can cover all the positions (except maybe 1st, which Miggy can cover), but despite the good performance in Toledo with the bat, is the expected drop off there worth it? Part of me wants to say 'yes', but I remember when folks wanted to run him out of town last year when every plate appearance was a K or a flyout.
